This Week at CFSBK in Review

1. CFSBK power couple Sophia M. and Lauro L. took 1st place in the 2018 Look, Feel, Perform Better Challenge! “I lost 9 pounds,” Sophia reports, “and was able to lose enough fat to start seeing the muscles that I knew were hiding. I was happy to find them for the 1st time in my life!”

2. 2nd place went to Marcus P. and Liz M.! “I also play roller derby, and I have noticed a performance improvement there. My endurance, speed, and strength is markedly better. We were doing an offensive hitting drill the other day, which elicited a lot of feedback like “daaaamn” and “ow” when it was my turn,” Liz says. OW!

3. Lauren M. and Runit C. came in 3rd. “One of the biggest successes of the Challenge for me has been the mental aspect,” Lauren told us, “Making time to sleep, prepare meals, eat meals, relax, and recover, have decreased my overall stress.” Congrats to everyone who took part in this year’s Challenge!

  1. Pro tip by josh Schneiderman about the DO for your BO (LITERALLY?! GET IT?!?)

    OG Tonight, fighting through a gnarly chest thingy all week I’ve barely been able to work out. Bouncing back from the open has been tougher than expected. I am sort of going through a major job change though so I’m obviously stressed, what can ya do. So Stoked to come into SBK full time to coach all of you fine people in two weeks!!!

    Warmup:
    2x
    10e paloff presses
    10 band pull aparts (step on band/shoulder raise/pull apart)
    10 squat press outs

    A1) Close Grip Bench Press

    @30×0 1,1,1,1, build to a 1rm, rest 3-5 min between attempts.
    rest 10 min after your final attempt then A2

    115/125/135/140
    Maybe had 145 in there but I stuck with 140 cause it was 4th attempt. Felt powerful. Held good tension in the bottom
    A2) Close Grip Bench Press

    @30×0 85% of A1 for max reps

    120×3
    Definitely all I had. Bench is my most underdeveloped lift for sure I never do it

    B) 30 min amrap

    15 russian KBS, 24kg
    400m run
    30 du
    do the run outside if possible

    9 rounds + 12 swings
    Although I’m feeling only 80% myself today I’m happy I could get 9+. Goal was to hit 10 so maybe if I was feeling myself I could’ve? Who knows. Swings were fine! All unbroken. Runs felt slow as molasses. Doubles were a mess today and they usually aren’t. Chest feels super tight hopefully I kick this chest thingy by the end of the weekend

    C) 10-15 min ez flush

    Good!

  2. 6:00am – Eight mile run
    My legs feel very heavy right now so all runs feel harder than usual. I hit my stride from miles 4-7 and the 8th was a nightmare today. Very lame. Then I got a coffee and became basic AF.

    StrongFit with Brett
    Sled pull bear crawls are fun, and makes me want to ride a bear.

    550m sandbag carry had me yanked that I didn’t have the energy to add in group class.

  3. 10am with the Mario Cart Champ

    21:37 with deadlift scale 75, 105, 125, 145, 155 and banded pull ups. I started out with a plan to do 25 DU attempts the first, third, and fifth rounds, and 100SUs the second and fourth, but after most attempts were missed after my first few, I switched to all SUs. Need to get back into the habit of working on these before and after classes. Overall loved this WOD though.

    Just starting to feel less shitty about the run & burpee WOD from Thursday—finished in 16:09 and felt like I failed everything. I walked on my third run and was just constantly out of breath. And even though I was ok with breaking up the burpees how I did, I felt like I needed way too much rest in between. Ugh.

    On a bright note— it’s finally spring! (?)

  4. 8am with DO

    Just under 18min – scaled to:
    -25 DUS – OK! Had a good rhythm on the first 10 in a row each round
    -DL 95-125-145-165-185 – singles in the last set but fine
    -5 banded CTB w/green + blue – got tough

  5. Spent most of the week doing lots and lots of time squatting and benching at 6am OG – this will basally become my life for the next two months. But want to still get in the Saturday Funday WODs. I was also planning on deadlifting today, so decided to make it all happen at once…

    StrongFit! Served as a grip and back warm-up for group class…

    WOD: 21:42 Rx Mens weight and C2B pull ups.
    315 got real – all in singles and told myself to walk away from the bar each time to do a full mental reset. Once I reached 275, I wanted to focus fully on good movements and not speed. Broke up DUs into 2 sets each time to keep consistent, C2B moved pretty well – played around with some different grips.

    Thursday:
    Snatch complex from 83 to 93.
    Running and Burpee WOD: 11:06, which included a double shoe tie.

  6. A very belated congratulations to all the challenge winners this year! Loved reading all your write-ups! So awesome/inspiring 😀

    1pm class today with Whit/Brett

    Wod in 15 something. Deadlifts were 65, 75, 85, 95, 105. It all felt pretty challenging towards the end, but I wonder if I should have pushed it more maybe? I dunno, but I enjoyed it. Whit reminded me to start with my feet real close to the bar and keep my hips bit higher than I’m inclined to when I start off. Subbed jumping pull ups which are always fun and gave myself a minute or so of double under attempts each round which were all pretty humbling/depressing.

    BUT I gave myself a few extra minutes after class to practice double unders and Whit recommended I think “whip WHIP.” I tried and I got my first double under! I have no real wisdom for why it worked this time and why all the rest didn’t as it felt exactly the same. Such magic! Pretty sure I hallucinated it, but I’ll take it!! (Thanks Coach Whit!)

  7. Woohoo, way go to on your FIRST DU, Sarah!!! They took me forever to get back when I started and it is SUCH a good feeling when they finally start to come together. whip-WHIP!!! 🙂

  10. I thought I was going to have to work until midnight last night so I was all grumpy about having to miss Strong Fit. Then I unexpectedly got out at 10:30, which is just about as late as I can work and still get to bed by midnight. 😀

    So, Strong Fit! That sandbag around the block carry was pretty spicy. Followed it up with Short Circuit, in which tabata squats holding the bottom of the squat in the rest period just about killed me.

    Tiny AR class. What, it’s nice out so no one wants to mobilize? I loved it, anyway.
